I have tried to get friends to come here, with little to no success. I used to think it was just because people were set in their social media home and didn't want a new one, but everyone has been jumping to Blue Sky lately. I have explained to them how Hive works (my metaphor is, we're essentially a co-op) and how there is no Al Gore Rhythm as we say on the censor sites. And yet, no one comes.
I think the general consensus among people who don't know anything about crypto, is that they heard someone say it's a scam once, and think that applies to all crypto and there is no difference between them (even though I've tried to tell them there is, repeatedly). Even though there are scammers galore on regular social media too. NFTs did us a LOT of harm in the general zeitgeist, imo. They don't even know about the actual scam stories like Bitconneeeeeeeeeeect, they just heard "people are selling .gifs for thousands of dollars, how stupid, what a scam" and think that's what crypto is. I'm pretty sure they all think poor little Phoenix has been fooled by a pyramid scheme or something.
I really don't know how to get anyone to listen at this point. :(
I wouldn't say no one comes. We're here :)
Speaking of me trying to invite people here, specifically. ;)
